Former ECW World Tag Team champions The Pitbulls and former ECW World TV & Tag Team champion 2 Cold Scorpio will be inducted into the former ECW Arenaâ€™s Hardcore Hall on 6/14. That show, titled â€œThe Final Cutâ€ will be filmed for the â€œWrestling with Disasterâ€ documentary Anthony Bruno is directing. Sabu, Shane Douglas, The Powers of Pain, The Blue Meanie, Stevie Richards, Angel Medina, Danny Doring, Bilvis Wesley and Samu are all appearing.

Low Ki vs. Christopher Daniels in a reprisal of their ROH and ECWA feuds has been announced for Right Coast Proâ€™s 7/26 event in Newark, Delaware. The promotion ran on 5/3 with King Mega being inducted into the promotionâ€™s Hall of Fame and then turning heel before announcing he was forming an alliance with Stockade. Stockade is Mikey Whipwreckâ€™s partner in the Long Island-based NYWC. A number of NYWC regulars are now working for RCP, including Francis Kipland Stevens III, Alvin Alvarez and Ryan Rush. They crowned a new RCP champion in Sean Royal, who pinned Rush in a Fatal Four-Way match against then-champ Bazooka Joe and Stevens. Also announced on 7/26 is Mega & Stockade vs â€œAmore Expressâ€ â€“ Jason Gotti & Alvin Alvarez. Iâ€™ve heard really good things about the promotion and have been told that if you liked the old Jim Kettner version of the ECWA, youâ€™d enjoy this.

Matt Hardy captured the Maryland Championship Wrestling championship on 5/3 at the promotionâ€™s â€œ
Xtreme Measuresâ€ at the Unique Sports Academy in Waldorf, MD. It all started with Drolix defeating Christian York to win the belt. York had been champion for 16 months, so the title switch was a shock. Drolixâ€™s stable, Black Wall Street worked over York after the match, with Hardy making the save. Drolix bragged that they had finally achieved a corporate takeover of the promotion, so Hardy issued a challenge where if he beat Chuck Lennox, he received a title shot but if he lost, he would leave MCW forever. Hardy then won both matches and captured the belt. That seems to tease Hardy vs. York for down the line. Other results of the show saw G-Fed beat Ken Dixon, Hoss Hagood beat Shaun Cannon, Reby Sky beat Amber Rodriquez, MCW Tag Team Championship Napalm & Solo (of Black Wall Street) beat The Hell Cats & Freaks Unleashed and Ryan McBride beat Ruckus in what was described as a fun, wild brawl all over the venue where they used a lot of the gymâ€™s equipment as weapons and foundations for spots.
in a match where they fought all of the building using much of the Gymnastic equipment.

David Benoit, the son of Chris Benoit, will be making his in-ring wrestling debut for Smith Hartâ€™s Hart Legacy Wrestling on 7/19, teaming with Chavo Guerrero, who was one of his fatherâ€™s closest friends. I donâ€™t think Benoit could have picked a harder path in life if heâ€™s really looking to make it on a major league level.

C*4 Wrestling in Ottawa, Canada has been on quite a tear lately as theyâ€™ve had to turn fans away from their last three shows. The promotion ran on 5/4 with â€œSpeedballâ€ Mike Bailey beating Kevin Steen in what was said to have been an awesome bout. The Super Smash Brothers, Player Uno, and Stu Grayson, defeated the Warriors, the returning Josh Alexander and â€œPsychoâ€ Mike Rollins, who were reuniting for the evening in a 30 minute plus bout that was said to have been great as well. The show was headlined by C*4 champion â€œHackerâ€ Scotty Oâ€™Shea defeating â€œSuperstarâ€ Shayne Hawke, Pinkie Sanchez, Jae Rukin, Brent Banks, and Cheech Hernandez in a crazy multi-man bout. C*4 Tag Team Champions, Tabarnak De Team, Mathieu St. Jacques and Thomas Dubois, defeated the debuting team of Dan Barry and Bill Carr. Carr is a hell of a brawler. Lionel Knight defeated Twiggy by DQ when Twiggy broke a beer bottle over his head during a brawl all over the venue. Others on the show include Archibald Peck, Colin Delaney and 3.0. The atmosphere at the C*4 shows live are said to be pretty insane and intimate. The promotion will run again on 6/21 at The Vanier Columbus Club.
